I'm wondering what do you think about Linkin Park's album "One More Light"? I know that this album really divided the fans of the band. By the way, it would be great if, in addition to video reactions, you would also make a video about your favorite music (and maybe even about movies) that inspire and help you. I wish you all the best in your life!
@@SokolRock I loved it. I didn't listen for their genre, I listened because I connected to Chester's story and their lyrics. It was probably my third favorite of their albums after Hybrid Theory and Meteora. That's a really good idea, I might do that! Thanks!
People like yourself are positive influence for me - just like the songs from Bloodywood ... because i struggle ... with many things ... among them are insecuritiy, doubting myself (alot) ... and in face of failure, self inflicted hate ... but i'm still fighting the good fight - one motivation at a time... slow progressing ascent - but ascending, no matter what.
@@FMJaqenHghar I'm actually about to announce a free 5 day challenge that will have EXTRA motivation and guidance. Make sure to watch out for my video today so you can join!
just wanted to put this out there, its communalism not communism. There's a couple of definitions but based on them being in India: Communalism is a term used to denote attempts to construct religious or ethnic identity, incite strife between people identified as different communities, and to stimulate communal violence between those groups. It derives from history, differences in beliefs, and tensions between the communities. Communalism is a significant social issue in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Communal conflicts between religious communities in India, especially Hindus and Muslims, have occurred since the period of British colonial rule, occasionally leading to serious inter-communal violence. The term communalism was coined by the British colonial government as it wrestled to manage Hindu-Muslim riots and other violence between religious, ethnic and disparate groups in its colonies, particularly in British West Africa and the Cape Colony, in early 20th century. Communalism is not unique to South Asia. It is found in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Australia.
bloodywood s older songs they would cover the costs of counselling for suicide ,depression etc with a phone number to call at end of the video for their fans . people need to learn from this stunning example of compassion.

@@Agnet_Faze Yes, I was trying to convey I agree with Ghandi. Me being a person who was raised Christian. I see how the way I wrote it, it can be taken that way.

As a non believer, I agree with you 100 %, the message in this is speaking for the unspoken or for those who will not be listened to, many follow blindly without knowing who's leading them, the blind leading the blind.
Being an old school 80s/90s metalhead, there is only so much that you can listen to over and over. This is some new shit that I think I like. Thanks for bringing it up.🙂
And even out here in the hinterlands, the various churches, who all read basically the same books, can't get along. Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, LDS, 7th Day Adventist, Methodist, Missouri Synod, whatever. Probably even Sunni, Shia, and Hebrews in this town of 2400. I don't hold out much hope for the wider world at this point. People need to accept people as people if things are going to get better.
Yeah. Don't know how old you are, but I'm just 33, and I started gettin into metal around my 12 (2000). A lot of 'classic metal' influence... But in recent years, I've been strugglinf to find something that really pumps me. I rather go back to the old classics. These guys managed to make me feel pumped and hyped for something absolutely new. The HU came close but... not quite hiting that 'perfect sweet spot'.

I’m currently suffering with anxiety and depression and have for the last 4 years, I went through a divorce nearly 2 years ago, and that sent me over the edge. I knew I had to get more therapy, and it was around that time I discovered bloodywood. Words can’t describe how much that band has helped me ever since, jee veeray and yaad ( the latter you gotta check out ) are my faves so far and this a banger of a tune. Just subbed too 👍👍
Hi, i´ve just watched your Reaction and your thoughts are similar to mine . When i hear this Band ,it touches my inner Warrior.The Guys are good and they care about what they do. For me they are positive Idols and they living this positiv Way by doing good things for others. Btw, i´ll see them in March in Germany ,can´t wait to Headbang with this Guys. Keep up your good Work.
Holy shit you give a great analysis and breakdown of this song. I've seen quiet a few reactions and most just reaction for views but you are a real listener with an actual functioning heart. Stay true and i look forward to more of your videos!!!!
I live in America and the lyrics are so STRONG. THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THROWN TO SIDE SONG TO RISE UP. I REALLY HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS SONG MOVES ME. IT SO TRUE THAT IT IS US ONES THAT WANT PEACE, LOVE, BETTER NORMAL LIFE AND BRING BACK POSITIVELY THOUGHTS AND LOVE OF MAN KIND. I'M A CHRISTIAN AND MY CHURCH PREACHING LOVE THEM LIKE JESUS AND WE DO AND WE DONT DISRESPECT YOU'RE SIN WE ALL ARE SINNERS AND WE SHOW LOVE ANYWAY AND HOPE JESUS CHANGE YOUR WAY NOT US MEN OR WOMEN.
once I saw your reaction to the "wwe" verse, I couldn't help but say: "man, I love this woman" :D that's coming from an AEW fan, by the way!! greetings from Chile! great reaction!
I'm a Christian but I am friends with people of all walks. If I have a question about their religion I have no problem asking. Mostly for my own understanding for why they do certain things. It isn't a threat to my faith and I learn something about them. It boils down to mutual respect...which I think a lot of people, especially Christians have lost for others who don't believe like them. My church states, "You don't have to believe to belong here." That to me is how Christ would want us to be, treat everyone with love and acceptance regardless of if they believe as you do. You won't win people over by beating them over the head...you win them over with love. My depression makes loving myself very hard, but I tend to love people with everything I have and sometimes it sets me up for a huge fall. People ask me why I keep putting myself in those situations...because doing what is right is the right thing to do regardless of if it is reciprocated or not. Does it hurt when it isn't? yeah, but I refuse to let it jade me to the point where I cannot love people. Too often though...People take advantage or they assume the worst in my intentions and it is that right there that has wounded me to the point where I just don't care. That and being in pain 24/7
My ex always assumed the worst with my intentions and I realized that I all but shut off because of it. Then I realized all that I was robbing the world of by doing that. A lot of us struggling with mental health struggle with self love. I made this recently. I hope that maybe it can help if even a little. ua-cam.com/video/fVqUbAEJlP8/v-deo.html
Love the way you reacted to this song 👌👍🤟🤟. These guys are a talented bunch of musicians. Like how they combined that cultural music in to one that sounds awesome 🤟🤟. Good reaction my dear..love it.👌❤️🌹. Keep up the good work 👍🤟🌹❤️
As a devout Christian, I must agree that we have lost the way. And the division and hate we are all surrounded by has filled the void. BUT A new spirit is rising, and rising against the provocateurs and profiteers- the overlords. That same spirit unites us as one human family. It's time to evolve. War is not our nature Division is not our nature Violence is not our nature These are conditioned states, conditioned by wicked politicians, religious leaders, academia, media. And we all bear some degree of responsibility Welcome to the Revolution
I like that you went through with the reaction even though it was clearly not your thing. This song is great because it's a call for unity of people, not a tribal mind.
Mick, I've been following them for more than 3 years now and I absolutely LOVE them. Wanna hear a bit more? I'll link a couple of my favorites here. And watch the video after the song because they usually have something interesting or poignant or funny at the end. 🤘😁 Ari, Ari - ua-cam.com/video/i4FqGPRQWFM/v-deo.html Machi Bhasad (Expect a Riot) - ua-cam.com/video/Gsy5sJy5_34/v-deo.html Jee Veerey - ua-cam.com/video/6uJoN_I9ebQ/v-deo.html Endurant - ua-cam.com/video/XfjTbY2NzsM/v-deo.html Yaad - ua-cam.com/video/2bldupcptbE/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for reacting to Bloodywood's new song. I really want them to get as much exposure as possible because I think they are massively talented but also because they are actually trying to do good in the world! Please consider doing more! I've linked a song below that I think you will appreciate. It's not as heavy as _Gaddaar,_ but it's still typical Bloodywood. It deals with the loss of a loved one, be it a human loved one or a pet. And watch the part after the song because if you think you appreciate Bloodywood now, just wait until that video is over!! Yaad - ua-cam.com/video/2bldupcptbE/v-deo.html I liked what you said: if you can't see both extremes, that means you are in one of those extremes.
The key to power is to tell people what to be afraid of, and who is to blame for it. As for religion, if it helps someone find peace and a better self, I’m happy for them. However, too often I see it used (corrupted) as a way to divide. We spend to much time putting people in boxes with labels. If they aren’t in our box, they are wrong.
Not quite sure what I watched there but it gave me a old school System Of A Down mixed in with Slipknot with some Linkin Park vibe either way not sure what that was but I kinda like it
Hi. I know that this reaction video of is a few months old by this point and I've just watched this reaction of yours. I hope you're doing great and a happy new year to you. This song is a banger by Bloodywood and I love it a lot, alongside Machi Bhasad and Jee Veerey. I'll make a small political comment on something that you've said in the video with gentleness and positivity. As much as I understand why you'd feel that being in the middle of the political spectrum might be the most rational thing to do (because I'd done the same too for a bit), I soon realised that the far-Left - especially the non-Parliamentary, non-electoral Left - has nothing in common with the far-right. It took me some time to come to this understanding and some years of studying political theory to fully grasp this fact. I started out as an anarchist in my late teens and now I align my politics with Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. It was an incredible but rewarding journey for me and it helped me to figure out a lot of things. In fact, sometimes I go and listen to audiobook versions of some of my favourite Marxist texts whenever I feel very low or that I feel like I'm giving up. So that's one of the ways I've kept myself afloat. Another thing that I'd point out is something related to the content of the song. Over the past couple of years, India has been under the grip of a literal fascist party running the show at the federal level and it has used communal (that is, inter-religious) strife and fake promises to actually hide many uncomfortable things about my country. It's been more than seven decades since we became an independent country free from British colonial rule but it seems we're still plagued by the issues that the people of my country faced way back in 1947. And it's not just the ruling fascist party running the show at the federal level, every major electoral party running for seats in Parliament and state legislative assemblies - including the Parliamentary and electoral "Left" - have failed to even make any amount of fundamental and meaningful changes in the lives of my countrymen. If you're Indian and if you're well-versed with the entire history of this country, starting from the Indus Valley Civilisation to today, you'll understand the rage and also the pathos behind the rage running throughout the emotional beats of the song. Sorry for the long-ish comment. I hope this finds you happy, in good health and in good spirits! ❤️
Here's the thing, Amanda (and for anyone else reading this). First, there is a distinct difference between compassion and/or empathy, and the ideas of truth, righteousness, and good, versus the ideas of falsehood, lies, and evil. There is a difference between love and hate. Knowing this, what Christians have forgotten is the idea that actions matter more than mere words. In several parables, and even the letter to the church in Laodicea, in Revelations, it was the idea that if you truly thought you were a good person, your actions would follow good thoughts. This was emphasized by the saying "You know a tree by the fruit it bears; so too, will you know those you meet by what they do." In the aforementioned letter, it was said that God despises those who are "neither hot nor cold, so therefore, I will spit you out of My mouth." This is even illustrated by Christ having many come to Him after He returns, according to the Bible, and He says, "I do not know you! Away from Me!" This is to point out that Christ despises hypocrisy, which is a form of a lie, and a form of deceit. God calls Christians to tell the truth, to do it out of love, and to be "gentle as a dove." The thing is, you can't just cherry-pick things out of the Bible and presume to understand them. For instance, most people would hear about church members shunning someone who goes to that particular church, because they refuse to stop doing something they know to be wrong. Yet, if you actually read the whole reason for why that happens, it is because the shunned person is actually damaging their interpersonal relationships and making people extremely uncomfortable. This results in attempts to correct bad behavior, but the shunned person refuses to listen -- and after enough time, the shunned person is deemed to be apathetic, and therefore, nothing about the shunned person will change, because they refuse to change, by consciously choosing not to change. At that point, that kind of person is toxic, and has to be let go. But the point to this comment is that it isn't just about words. While words do matter, it matters more about actions. And what I have always struggled with is the idea of unconditional forgiveness, juxtaposed against the idea of justice. What I have come to understand is that what many think of as "justice" is really legalized vengeance. Some call that "vigilantism." However, I do think that in some instances, should, for example, a person be forced to defend oneself like Kyle Rittenhouse, then it is something that you must reconcile with God on your own. Evil people will do evil things, because inherently, humans are not nice people. We have a flawed nature. But at the same time, I cannot, nor will not, say that Kyle Rittenhouse did anything wrong. He was justified in his actions. Yet, people who believe he acted unlawfully refuse to see the fact that Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum were bad people. Evil people, even, given their past histories. Yet, I look at what happened as both karma, and justice. And karma is not a foreign concept to Christ, as even He says, "You reap what you sow." Therefore, I do not have pity or compassion for people like Huber or Rosenbaum who did horrible things to others, including children. I believe that, as Christians, those people have forgotten the core teaching of Christ, which is to live by example, as best you can. Those who do so, and still fail at times, are to be forgiven, if they act in good faith to show remorse. But on the other hand, God's wrath is not, nor will not, be satiated forever. There will be justice for those who God hears cry out to Him. The question is, should we ever exact justice on those who hurt or harm us? I think so, because God also calls on moral people to do the right thing, and to offer mercy where it is warranted -- including, in the dispensation of justice. Overall, Christians tend to see things as black and white. And while most things are, there are still shades of gray, because the nature of human beings is not just black and white, but shades of gray too.
Thoughts For The Day: "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." Marcus Aurelius "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Abraham Lincoln "United we stand. Divided, we fall." Bloodywood, Ari Ari
gee thanks for all the positive comments about Christians guys, very welcoming. Looks like hate is something people on both sides feel, not just the Christians.
Nice messeges. I grew up as christian, still i am. But i am not “religious” at all, because i have seen many hypocrites in them, i have struggle like you too have a suicide thougts. And then Jesus saves me, so i rather to follow Jesus than a man in Churches. I know God never dissapointed me and always be with me, man? Nope. So man can be flawed, christians typically christian by name not True Follower of Christ. “From the fruit you shall know them”. And "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matt 11:28) Great reaction mam 🔥🔥🔥
Holy crap, its been so long since I have heard anyone mention WCW, I was the biggest Sting fan during the NWO era. Pretty sure I dressed up as him for Halloween in 6th grade. Beyond that, I absolutely love watching your reactions, you give a super rare wisdom that people really need to get back to!
Believe in yourself.. Being an Indian I am soilt for choices when it comes to gods. We see god in different forms which looks straange for outsiders. But I prefer to believe in an almighty (in whatever name the power is called).just as a moral support. Anyway, without our efforts even god cant help us.
I love this band. The only political comment I'll make is that in their anger this band are on to a line of truth. Much respect to your mental health endeavours, subscribed :)
I come across your video cuz I love seeing reactions to bloodywood and your adopted dad is Eric freaking biscoff? 83 weeks erix bischoff?! General manager of RAW in my teenage years eric biscoff?! How did this coincidence happen?
Yup, that Eric Bischoff! I don't believe in coincidence. When I went to school back in 2010-2012, his wife was one of my teachers. I didn't make the connection until YEARS later when I met Eric at a fan event and talked to him briefly and a friend who was also a teacher at the school responded to a picture I posted and mentioned Eric's wife being a coworker. It clicked. I was getting married a few months after our meet and I reached out to her and explained that my dad and I had been close largely because of our bond over WCW, but he passed and I had nobody to walk me down the aisle. They called me personally and he wound up doing it. Even though the marriage didn't work out, we remain close. I know he has talked about it on 83 weeks but we also did an interview here: ua-cam.com/video/bkOuoAxCCBA/v-deo.html
If I was to recommend a different band style. It would have to be Architects - Doomsday ( the story behind is very emotional ). Or Gone with the wind ( also very emotional)
@@MentalAmanda thankyou but the energy I'm referring to in is how happy and excited you were when you first uploaded to be the best. Thankyou for the link, but I did see it when it first appeared. Only one fault...socks and sandals!!! I remember you were very against them, and the thought let alone very sight of them ow, ow, ow, enough to give me a toe wedgie!!😖😣😂😂😂
This song/track is not religiously motivated, it talks about dirty politics. And being a Roman catholic from the great nation of India, where my mom is Catholic my dad was Hindu (I say was cause he been deceased for the past 22 years) my parents embraced both wedding ceremonies and in death my dad had both rituals first the cremation with both a Hindu priest and a catholic priest..it was his wish ..Now as a catholic it's my choice of his. Son which my dad was never against though from a Brahmin Hindu family he gave the choice to my my mom, he wasn't religious eat beef and pork, but my Brahmin Hindu family from my father's side still accepts me...why and we all will accept anyone...cause religion meant nothing...and would like to add in music religion is bullsh*t. We are one race of humanity... hopefully without the politics we will be.
@@mugo4581 I was on the left for many years. I do not see peace there anymore. I also don't see it from the right. I see it from breaking the system and rebuilding.
um, and then I listened to rest of what you had to say, you're very cool. I'm not an old creepy stalker guy but I am becoming a fan. Don't dismiss me out of hand, I'm fairly eloquent and I'm the most hardcore non liberal err....Liberal minded you're likely to meet
The issue is that christians cannot fathom the fact that there's always an opposite. Light? Dark. Heavy? Light. Strong? Weak. Christ? Satan. My mother tried to raise me like a christian, while my father always gave me the freedom of choice.
God I wish I was worthy of meeting you 30 years ago but you weren't there and I was kind of a piece of shit as a human being.; I've learned since then, but I still missed out on love.
Love your channel. "Christians" give Jesus a bad name and I am sorry for any hurts those people or ideas may have caused. Check out the song "Fight the Silence" by for today. Also, give "No Love" by Sleeping Giant a spin. Keep doing what you are doing!
Orwell said something about how the worst advertisement for Christianity is it's adherents. Jesus talked a lot about kindness and compassion and not judging. Some Christians don't seem very Christian. I think if Jesus comes back to earth he's going to be disappointed with what people have done in his name. But I'm an atheist and I don't like how the more evangelical atheists sound either. Atheists are smart and rational while religious people are dumb and evil. But that's just the same black and white thinking which I dislike when I see it in religion. "We" are better than "them" because we know the truth. I like to say that I'm an agnostic now because it annoys hardcore atheists.
Would love to see your Reaction on this new video by an Indian Folk metal band against the Rape Culture in India ua-cam.com/video/JAFNq0xymSU/v-deo.html
Feel free to delete but damn I was shocked how bad ass this song is musically without the message...I'm pleasantly surprised, but I'm sorry I have little to no political intruige...it's a losing battle on both sides, especially in our current state of this country
I avoid politics. The atmosphere has become toxic. I feel this video really just highlighted the toxicity. It didn't point fingers. That's why I liked it.
Religion literally turned me away from Religion lol I basically consider my agnostic, i believe there basically has to be a higher power then us, but I don't think any Religion has any idea what it may be or have it right in any context, and i think it's incredibly arrogant to think you know all about a God.
You had me till u started talking religion. If I hear someone trying to talk politics or religion I instantly shut it off you're getting me the view of only you and not a large amount of people so it's hard to take that into consideration when making decisions sorry it's just not for me
I don't talk too much politics and religion as it's not my jive either. This song is heavily driven by those subjects so it was a bit hard to avoid them entirely. Believe me, I'm a pretty darn inclusive and open minded person and I believe the channel reflects that 😊
I'm gonna be totally honest here, I am a big metal fan and at first this band sounded good and was getting into it... until the bald guy singing (sorry I don't know his name) started rapping and straight away I just went... UUURRRGGHHhhhh 🙄... I'm sorry I know other people may love this, but I myself I've just never liked rap metal cause I just hate rap music and to me in my opinion rap doesn't go with metal, and I apologise if people read my comment and don't like what I'm saying... I just happen to be different from everyone else and entitled to my say as it's our given right as free people... but if it weren't for the guy rapping in this metal band and song I'd guarantee I'd actually like it.

I live in America and the lyrics are so STRONG. THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THROWN TO SIDE SONG TO RISE UP. I REALLY HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS SONG MOVES ME. IT SO TRUE THAT IT IS US ONES THAT WANT PEACE, LOVE, BETTER NORMAL LIFE AND BRING BACK POSITIVELY THOUGHTS AND LOVE OF MAN KIND. I'M A CHRISTIAN AND MY CHURCH PREACHING LOVE THEM LIKE JESUS AND WE DO AND WE DONT DISRESPECT YOU'RE SIN WE ALL ARE SINNERS AND WE SHOW LOVE ANYWAY AND HOPE JESUS CHANGE YOUR WAY NOT US MEN OR WOMEN.
Bloodywood just released one called 'Dana Dan'. Keep captions on and check it out; I think you'll like the message.
once I saw your reaction to the "wwe" verse, I couldn't help but say: "man, I love this woman" :D
that's coming from an AEW fan, by the way!!
greetings from Chile! great reaction!
Wow! Amanda, you are amazing! I agree with everything you stated in this video!!!
Bloodywood are awesome - I can highly recommend their song "Yaad" which is about the loss of a beloved pet, which fits the theme of your channel :)
I'm a Christian but I am friends with people of all walks. If I have a question about their religion I have no problem asking. Mostly for my own understanding for why they do certain things. It isn't a threat to my faith and I learn something about them. It boils down to mutual respect...which I think a lot of people, especially Christians have lost for others who don't believe like them. My church states, "You don't have to believe to belong here." That to me is how Christ would want us to be, treat everyone with love and acceptance regardless of if they believe as you do. You won't win people over by beating them over the head...you win them over with love.
My depression makes loving myself very hard, but I tend to love people with everything I have and sometimes it sets me up for a huge fall. People ask me why I keep putting myself in those situations...because doing what is right is the right thing to do regardless of if it is reciprocated or not. Does it hurt when it isn't? yeah, but I refuse to let it jade me to the point where I cannot love people. Too often though...People take advantage or they assume the worst in my intentions and it is that right there that has wounded me to the point where I just don't care. That and being in pain 24/7
My ex always assumed the worst with my intentions and I realized that I all but shut off because of it. Then I realized all that I was robbing the world of by doing that. A lot of us struggling with mental health struggle with self love. I made this recently. I hope that maybe it can help if even a little.

I have no words. Just stop the hate! ONE LOVE!
Your comments on religion and politics here are so accurate !!
Let me just say: BLOODYWOOD!!!! :)
Can't wait for march! I'm looking at my tickets right now! Can't wait to see them live again! :)
Love the way you reacted to this song 👌👍🤟🤟. These guys are a talented bunch of musicians. Like how they combined that cultural music in to one that sounds awesome 🤟🤟. Good reaction my dear..love it.👌❤️🌹. Keep up the good work 👍🤟🌹❤️
As a devout Christian, I must agree that we have lost the way.
And the division and hate we are all surrounded by has filled the void.
BUT
A new spirit is rising, and rising against the provocateurs and profiteers- the overlords.
That same spirit unites us as one human family.
It's time to evolve.
War is not our nature
Division is not our nature
Violence is not our nature
These are conditioned states, conditioned by wicked politicians, religious leaders, academia, media. And we all bear some degree of responsibility
Welcome to the Revolution
I like that you went through with the reaction even though it was clearly not your thing. This song is great because it's a call for unity of people, not a tribal mind.
Nice reaction As Always..😊❤
Where did you find this band and why haven't I heard of them. Song was awesome and message even better. Have to go check these guys out some more.
I did a reaction to them months ago at the suggestion of a subscriber. I love them too!

Mick, I've been following them for more than 3 years now and I absolutely LOVE them. Wanna hear a bit more? I'll link a couple of my favorites here. And watch the video after the song because they usually have something interesting or poignant or funny at the end. 🤘😁

@@AGDinCA Thank you I will be checking those out.
Together we are unbreakable. 💖
Thank you so much for reacting to Bloodywood's new song. I really want them to get as much exposure as possible because I think they are massively talented but also because they are actually trying to do good in the world! Please consider doing more! I've linked a song below that I think you will appreciate. It's not as heavy as _Gaddaar,_ but it's still typical Bloodywood. It deals with the loss of a loved one, be it a human loved one or a pet. And watch the part after the song because if you think you appreciate Bloodywood now, just wait until that video is over!!
Yaad - ua-cam.com/video/2bldupcptbE/v-deo.html
I liked what you said: if you can't see both extremes, that means you are in one of those extremes.
I did do this one too:

They are amazing!
tnx for reaction. i've got a lot of fun!)
The key to power is to tell people what to be afraid of, and who is to blame for it. As for religion, if it helps someone find peace and a better self, I’m happy for them. However, too often I see it used (corrupted) as a way to divide. We spend to much time putting people in boxes with labels. If they aren’t in our box, they are wrong.
Not quite sure what I watched there but it gave me a old school System Of A Down mixed in with Slipknot with some Linkin Park vibe either way not sure what that was but I kinda like it
Hi. I know that this reaction video of is a few months old by this point and I've just watched this reaction of yours. I hope you're doing great and a happy new year to you. This song is a banger by Bloodywood and I love it a lot, alongside Machi Bhasad and Jee Veerey.
I'll make a small political comment on something that you've said in the video with gentleness and positivity. As much as I understand why you'd feel that being in the middle of the political spectrum might be the most rational thing to do (because I'd done the same too for a bit), I soon realised that the far-Left - especially the non-Parliamentary, non-electoral Left - has nothing in common with the far-right. It took me some time to come to this understanding and some years of studying political theory to fully grasp this fact. I started out as an anarchist in my late teens and now I align my politics with Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. It was an incredible but rewarding journey for me and it helped me to figure out a lot of things. In fact, sometimes I go and listen to audiobook versions of some of my favourite Marxist texts whenever I feel very low or that I feel like I'm giving up. So that's one of the ways I've kept myself afloat.
Another thing that I'd point out is something related to the content of the song. Over the past couple of years, India has been under the grip of a literal fascist party running the show at the federal level and it has used communal (that is, inter-religious) strife and fake promises to actually hide many uncomfortable things about my country. It's been more than seven decades since we became an independent country free from British colonial rule but it seems we're still plagued by the issues that the people of my country faced way back in 1947. And it's not just the ruling fascist party running the show at the federal level, every major electoral party running for seats in Parliament and state legislative assemblies - including the Parliamentary and electoral "Left" - have failed to even make any amount of fundamental and meaningful changes in the lives of my countrymen. If you're Indian and if you're well-versed with the entire history of this country, starting from the Indus Valley Civilisation to today, you'll understand the rage and also the pathos behind the rage running throughout the emotional beats of the song.
Sorry for the long-ish comment. I hope this finds you happy, in good health and in good spirits! ❤️
...love the song because my core screams metal. Thx 4 exposing me (us) to the group.
omg you are a rarity a clear eyed american america needs so many more like that keep it up from nz ☮💛
From a non-religious person: I found your comments as impressive as the song itself. Two for the price of one! Love
Pls react on DYMBUR -- Indian folk metal - A protest on song against rape culture in India @
Great reaction. Please react to another newly released video from a band from Shillong, India.

Loved all your reactions to this band. sure i will enjoy the rest. subscribed.
They are just beautiful, aren't they? Thanks for reacting!
Be sure to check out their "Dana dan".
Omg!!! I just fell in love with Jesus again Hahaha I so wasn't expecting that this song just made my day thank you...😁😁😁
Love these guys. I may actually pay for music for the first time in over 20 years.
Here's the thing, Amanda (and for anyone else reading this).
First, there is a distinct difference between compassion and/or empathy, and the ideas of truth, righteousness, and good, versus the ideas of falsehood, lies, and evil. There is a difference between love and hate.
Knowing this, what Christians have forgotten is the idea that actions matter more than mere words. In several parables, and even the letter to the church in Laodicea, in Revelations, it was the idea that if you truly thought you were a good person, your actions would follow good thoughts. This was emphasized by the saying "You know a tree by the fruit it bears; so too, will you know those you meet by what they do." In the aforementioned letter, it was said that God despises those who are "neither hot nor cold, so therefore, I will spit you out of My mouth." This is even illustrated by Christ having many come to Him after He returns, according to the Bible, and He says, "I do not know you! Away from Me!" This is to point out that Christ despises hypocrisy, which is a form of a lie, and a form of deceit. God calls Christians to tell the truth, to do it out of love, and to be "gentle as a dove."
The thing is, you can't just cherry-pick things out of the Bible and presume to understand them. For instance, most people would hear about church members shunning someone who goes to that particular church, because they refuse to stop doing something they know to be wrong. Yet, if you actually read the whole reason for why that happens, it is because the shunned person is actually damaging their interpersonal relationships and making people extremely uncomfortable. This results in attempts to correct bad behavior, but the shunned person refuses to listen -- and after enough time, the shunned person is deemed to be apathetic, and therefore, nothing about the shunned person will change, because they refuse to change, by consciously choosing not to change. At that point, that kind of person is toxic, and has to be let go.
But the point to this comment is that it isn't just about words. While words do matter, it matters more about actions. And what I have always struggled with is the idea of unconditional forgiveness, juxtaposed against the idea of justice. What I have come to understand is that what many think of as "justice" is really legalized vengeance. Some call that "vigilantism." However, I do think that in some instances, should, for example, a person be forced to defend oneself like Kyle Rittenhouse, then it is something that you must reconcile with God on your own. Evil people will do evil things, because inherently, humans are not nice people. We have a flawed nature. But at the same time, I cannot, nor will not, say that Kyle Rittenhouse did anything wrong. He was justified in his actions. Yet, people who believe he acted unlawfully refuse to see the fact that Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum were bad people. Evil people, even, given their past histories. Yet, I look at what happened as both karma, and justice. And karma is not a foreign concept to Christ, as even He says, "You reap what you sow." Therefore, I do not have pity or compassion for people like Huber or Rosenbaum who did horrible things to others, including children.
I believe that, as Christians, those people have forgotten the core teaching of Christ, which is to live by example, as best you can. Those who do so, and still fail at times, are to be forgiven, if they act in good faith to show remorse. But on the other hand, God's wrath is not, nor will not, be satiated forever. There will be justice for those who God hears cry out to Him. The question is, should we ever exact justice on those who hurt or harm us? I think so, because God also calls on moral people to do the right thing, and to offer mercy where it is warranted -- including, in the dispensation of justice.
Overall, Christians tend to see things as black and white. And while most things are, there are still shades of gray, because the nature of human beings is not just black and white, but shades of gray too.
Thoughts For The Day:
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius
"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
Abraham Lincoln
"United we stand. Divided, we fall."
Bloodywood, Ari Ari
gee thanks for all the positive comments about Christians guys, very welcoming. Looks like hate is something people on both sides feel, not just the Christians.
I feel the same way about the discord between religious followers and what the good parts of their ideologies get ignored by them.
i love it!! wow!! 😱😱😁😁 wwe??😁😁😁 he say wwe?? really??😁😁
nice reacción🌹
The Gathering - Waking Hour(TG25: Live at Doornrooosje)
A little history about Karan the lead guitarist, he was a corporate lawyer and quit to start the band
You could watch jee veerey by bloodywood in which they talk about mental health
Did that one a few months ago!
ua-cam.com/video/L8wQ1fudaI4/v-deo.html
Nice messeges. I grew up as christian, still i am. But i am not “religious” at all, because i have seen many hypocrites in them, i have struggle like you too have a suicide thougts. And then Jesus saves me, so i rather to follow Jesus than a man in Churches. I know God never dissapointed me and always be with me, man? Nope.
So man can be flawed, christians typically christian by name not True Follower of Christ.
“From the fruit you shall know them”. And
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matt 11:28)
Great reaction mam 🔥🔥🔥
Holy crap, its been so long since I have heard anyone mention WCW, I was the biggest Sting fan during the NWO era. Pretty sure I dressed up as him for Halloween in 6th grade. Beyond that, I absolutely love watching your reactions, you give a super rare wisdom that people really need to get back to!
I spray painted a baseball bat black and kept it in my room! Got to meet him back in 2018.
Amanda great commentary! do 'AJJ' from these guys too .... even more powerfull.
Bloodywood made a documentary about their rise and tour! Raj Against the Machine (pun is probably intended...) Check it out!
Believe in yourself..
Being an Indian I am soilt for choices when it comes to gods. We see god in different forms which looks straange for outsiders. But I prefer to believe in an almighty (in whatever name the power is called).just as a moral support. Anyway, without our efforts even god cant help us.
o that was sick wow holy crap
You are right about religion, which is why many of us are non believers in religion due to much of the hypocrisy.
React to the Mecca of rock of India. The band called Ausomapto. The song name is hybrid theory tanhayee
I love this band. The only political comment I'll make is that in their anger this band are on to a line of truth. Much respect to your mental health endeavours, subscribed :)
I hate politics and politicians. That’s as far as I’m willing to with it here. I love seeing you so energized.
Same.
This song is powerful raging against the political classes and it should spread all across the world.
Hey you gotta checkout their new song 'Aaj' which is bloody amazing!
Endurant and Yaad, by bloodywood are also very good songs to react to and have good mental health issues
I come across your video cuz I love seeing reactions to bloodywood and your adopted dad is Eric freaking biscoff? 83 weeks erix bischoff?! General manager of RAW in my teenage years eric biscoff?! How did this coincidence happen?
Yup, that Eric Bischoff! I don't believe in coincidence. When I went to school back in 2010-2012, his wife was one of my teachers. I didn't make the connection until YEARS later when I met Eric at a fan event and talked to him briefly and a friend who was also a teacher at the school responded to a picture I posted and mentioned Eric's wife being a coworker. It clicked. I was getting married a few months after our meet and I reached out to her and explained that my dad and I had been close largely because of our bond over WCW, but he passed and I had nobody to walk me down the aisle. They called me personally and he wound up doing it. Even though the marriage didn't work out, we remain close. I know he has talked about it on 83 weeks but we also did an interview here:

If I was to recommend a different band style. It would have to be Architects - Doomsday ( the story behind is very emotional ). Or Gone with the wind ( also very emotional)
Just would like to know whetehr you could check out MIRAGE by DINO JAMES????
i have the same curse every story has 2 sides i listen to both before i pick a side att all :p
Bloodywood is good and Amanda is cute.
You should really react to Endurant by Bloodywood. It's about bullying.
You should try symphony of sorrowful songs by Gorecki. Life changing but impossible on utube.
That was fun, your energy there kind of reminded me of the Jack Black video.
I did a reaction to his band Tenacious D not too long ago. Love him!

Do “I started a joke” Becky Hanson lyric version! Sadist song ever
Try My dying bride the dreadful hours live 🤘🤘
This song/track is not religiously motivated, it talks about dirty politics. And being a Roman catholic from the great nation of India, where my mom is Catholic my dad was Hindu (I say was cause he been deceased for the past 22 years) my parents embraced both wedding ceremonies and in death my dad had both rituals first the cremation with both a Hindu priest and a catholic priest..it was his wish ..Now as a catholic it's my choice of his. Son which my dad was never against though from a Brahmin Hindu family he gave the choice to my my mom, he wasn't religious eat beef and pork, but my Brahmin Hindu family from my father's side still accepts me...why and we all will accept anyone...cause religion meant nothing...and would like to add in music religion is bullsh*t. We are one race of humanity... hopefully without the politics we will be.
the "me too" in the beginning was enough for me, remember, being neutral is siding with the opressor ;)
I am FAR from neutral. I just don't like the system and I won't be forced to subscribe to ideals that I am vehemently opposed to just to "pick sides."
@@MentalAmanda I hope you one day go to the left, it's not easy or comfortable, but it's the only way we can have a peaceful world
@@mugo4581 I was on the left for many years. I do not see peace there anymore. I also don't see it from the right. I see it from breaking the system and rebuilding.
um, and then I listened to rest of what you had to say, you're very cool. I'm not an old creepy stalker guy but I am becoming a fan. Don't dismiss me out of hand, I'm fairly eloquent and I'm the most hardcore non liberal err....Liberal minded you're likely to meet
The issue is that christians cannot fathom the fact that there's always an opposite. Light? Dark. Heavy? Light. Strong? Weak. Christ? Satan. My mother tried to raise me like a christian, while my father always gave me the freedom of choice.
God I wish I was worthy of meeting you 30 years ago but you weren't there and I was kind of a piece of shit as a human being.; I've learned since then, but I still missed out on love.
I didn't find a happy and healthy relationship until recently in my late 30s. We all have different timelines.
Please react to another Indian band Ausomapto
hang on....did you say you were the adopted daughter of Eric Bischoff? the legend behind the monday night wars?
Not legally, but I am close with him and his wife and he was my stand in dad at my wedding. But yes, that same legend!
Love your channel. "Christians" give Jesus a bad name and I am sorry for any hurts those people or ideas may have caused. Check out the song "Fight the Silence" by for today. Also, give "No Love" by Sleeping Giant a spin. Keep doing what you are doing!
Okay, there's a lot to talk about here, but HOLD DAFUCKUP YOUR ADOPTED DAD IS ERIC BISCHOFF??? WE NEED MORE DETAILS.
Haha, yes indeed. I met him in 2018 at a Comicon and realized that his wife, Loree, had been my lifecoaching teacher in college.
@@MentalAmanda that’s rad
If you think this was great just wait till you review Dana Dan the message in this one is the most powerful yet
Orwell said something about how the worst advertisement for Christianity is it's adherents. Jesus talked a lot about kindness and compassion and not judging. Some Christians don't seem very Christian. I think if Jesus comes back to earth he's going to be disappointed with what people have done in his name. But I'm an atheist and I don't like how the more evangelical atheists sound either. Atheists are smart and rational while religious people are dumb and evil. But that's just the same black and white thinking which I dislike when I see it in religion. "We" are better than "them" because we know the truth. I like to say that I'm an agnostic now because it annoys hardcore atheists.
Ахахахххх мне очень понравилось !!!Просто бомба..
I don't know if god is good or evil. But i know, that a majority of his ground personnel sucks big time.

Would love to see your Reaction on this new video by an Indian Folk metal band against the Rape Culture in India
ua-cam.com/video/JAFNq0xymSU/v-deo.html
Yeah politics is trash I hate how talking about politics leads to arguments.
Feel free to delete but damn I was shocked how bad ass this song is musically without the message...I'm pleasantly surprised, but I'm sorry I have little to no political intruige...it's a losing battle on both sides, especially in our current state of this country
I avoid politics. The atmosphere has become toxic. I feel this video really just highlighted the toxicity. It didn't point fingers. That's why I liked it.
Religion literally turned me away from Religion lol I basically consider my agnostic, i believe there basically has to be a higher power then us, but I don't think any Religion has any idea what it may be or have it right in any context, and i think it's incredibly arrogant to think you know all about a God.
You had me till u started talking religion. If I hear someone trying to talk politics or religion I instantly shut it off you're getting me the view of only you and not a large amount of people so it's hard to take that into consideration when making decisions sorry it's just not for me
I don't talk too much politics and religion as it's not my jive either. This song is heavily driven by those subjects so it was a bit hard to avoid them entirely. Believe me, I'm a pretty darn inclusive and open minded person and I believe the channel reflects that 😊
I'm gonna be totally honest here, I am a big metal fan and at first this band sounded good and was getting into it... until the bald guy singing (sorry I don't know his name) started rapping and straight away I just went... UUURRRGGHHhhhh 🙄...
I'm sorry I know other people may love this, but I myself I've just never liked rap metal cause I just hate rap music and to me in my opinion rap doesn't go with metal, and I apologise if people read my comment and don't like what I'm saying... I just happen to be different from everyone else and entitled to my say as it's our given right as free people... but if it weren't for the guy rapping in this metal band and song I'd guarantee I'd actually like it.
Everyone has their preferences. Nothing wrong with that!
